    Did the Anti's ever go after Buckshot?

    I think CA has actually has or was close to passing a lead ban. Enviros and anti's keep pushing the EPA to ban lead as well, but the law expressly forbids the EPA from regulating lead in ammunition. Though they may ban lead used for fishing.

    Exhibition: "Pistols: Dazzling Firearms" at Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, IN

    Pistols: Dazzling Firearms I heard about this on the radio and it looks to be very interesting. I have always been a fan of gun art, sadly though not wealthy enough to own much of it. I do admire the quality craftsmanship used to make and decorate these guns.

    Purchase Reloading Equipment or another gun.

    I choose to reload because ammo was scarce. It has since come back but it is expensive. The only issue was that primers were sold out. They are starting to trickle back in.

    Dramatic price drops in firearms

    Not by me Prices on some items have dropped, but not by a lot. There are more ARs on sale like Olys, S&W, and some other brands I haven't heard of. Still no DPMS, Bushmaster, or Colts. I don't think the Obama buying frenzy went away so much as people are not doing well economically. Layoffs...

    Seattle woman who shot man at bus stop won't be charged

    On the other hand I have to stop and remember that this is a newspaper account, and not necessarily a reliable source of accurate information. Bingo. We don't know what happened. The fact that he moved near her and fell on her sounds suspicious to me, especially when he wasn't even at his stop...

    Primer notation

    Thanks all. I have read the reloading manual, but it wasn't clear when I looked at the actual manufactures various boxes. I don't remember which ones, but some just said "magnum pistol." I still haven't got a loading reference book. Not sure which to get. It's funny one book will list a bunch...

    Primer notation

    I am just getting into reloading and I have a question about primers. I bought some .45 colt starline brass that states it is to be used with "large pistol primers." I go to the store and no such thing exists, but there are "magnum pistol primers." Are the two definitions interchangeable or are...

    Pro-gun ownership but not pro-NRA?

    I am not turned off and I am a member. However I do not agree with them 100% of the time. I think their membership drives can be a little over the top, but I think they do far more good than harm. There are also other organizations that you could donate to if you want to support RKBA and not...

    Horns of a dilemma

    CoRoMo, That is a good idea. I am interested in getting NRA certified in something and possibly an instructor.

    Horns of a dilemma

    I thought of that but I am just not ready for it nor do I have the time. It's all I can do to drag myself to clean them. :(

    Horns of a dilemma

    Should a buy a new toy just for fun like a .22lr or 9mm or ammo for my neglected more expensive calibers?

    Is there such a thing as too early?

    One thing to consider: does the range have an age level? My range has a no children under 5yrs rule. Of course safety and handling can be done earlier if the child is receptive. At that young of an age children love manipulating objects: buttons like the safety and mag release, triggers...

    Did your parents own a gun?

    Dad owned shotguns for hunting. No rifles. No pistols. He was a fuddie (born and raised in Europe and then lived in NJ). Basically cared more about hunting than the gun. But I am bringing him around. I bought him Western soundtracks cd (which he loves) and I have a SSS cowboy pistol he really...
